Writing activity

In year 2 we have been doing a lot of poetry work and looking specifically at how we can use adjectives and similes in our writing (parents, quiz children on what they mean!!!) We have also started our new topic of The Victorians and will be looking at the similarities and differences between then and now both in general and in terms of Christmas.
 
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it (which of course you will), is to write a short story including adjectives and similes:
 
You've been transported back in time to 1840. Queen Victoria sits on the throne and you've just been summoned to Buckingham Palace to meet her, only you live in Dorchester! (remember there were no cars). How are you going to get there? How would you describe Buckingham Palace? Why has Queen Victoria summoned you?
 
Good luck!
